Otogawa stood on the back of the big lizard and looked into the distance. Finally, the front was no longer an endless desert, but a cliff that looked like the next door.
As barren as ever, without a single bit of green.
This reflected the horror of the interstellar war countless years ago. A planet was destroyed like this by a bombardment.
And that powerful infinite cosmic empire has now become a part of history and only exists in the databases of a few civilizations.
"Greatness comes from smallness, and greatness will also perish!"
At this time, Yi Xiaochuan thought of the civilization that created the black technology system. It was so powerful, but it was destroyed too.
Wasn’t Tushan Jiuer’s immortal civilization also destroyed
Those gods that exist in mythology have also been submerged in the long river of time and even fallen.
The big lizard continued to move forward, and the two suns sank into the horizon at the same time.
According to Eva's calculations, this situation occurs once every 28 days. The operation of the binary star system is more complicated. There will be complete darkness for a period of time, and at other times, there will be more or less light.
At this time, Xiao Yi had already left the Krayt dragon. With the attraction of this big guy, his presence was very low.
After crossing several cliffs in the cover of night, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped.
Ahead, one of the Tusken Raiders described in the hologram lay on the ground, pressed against the cliff face, half-buried under a pile of rocks.
Though at a distance, the look and clothing of his Sand People were unmistakable, baggy tan clothing, heavy leather gloves and boots, bandoliers and belts, a cloth wrapped around his head, goggles and a breathable mask, a long double-handled jet rifle held a meter away from his outstretched arm.
There was a fresh scratch on the very high cliff, and it was obvious that he had fallen from it. Maybe when he was hiding on it, the rock under his feet suddenly loosened, and he was buried underneath when he fell.
Eva's summary of the Tusken Raiders immediately came to Xiao Yi's mind.
Civilization: Tuta indigenous civilization
Aliases: Tusken Raiders, Tusken Raiders, Desert Savages, Sand People
Controlled area: Sand sea outside the colony
Appearance: Humanoid, three meters tall, with fierce facial features.
Ability: Can easily blend into the environment, coming and going in the desert like an invisible man.
Javelin proficiency, the elite among the Sand People, the powerful strength combined with the sharp Krayt dragon horn has the piercing power of armor-piercing bullets.
Telepathy allows them to establish a mysterious connection with wild beasts. Every Sandman who can subdue a Krayt dragon is an elite or leader of the tribe.
Weapons: javelins, blasters, biotoxins.
Pets: Krayt Dragon, Massif, Bantha, Dewback, and some weird desert creatures.
The Massif is a muscular, four-legged carnivore that stands about a meter tall at the shoulder, has rough skin, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, large black eyes, and a row of hard spines on its back.
This is the main combat soldier of the Sand People. You can imagine it as a wolf from another world.
The Bantha is covered with thick long hair and has two long curved horns on its head. On the planet Tuta, the Bantha was domesticated by the Sand People and used as their riding and transportation tools. Sometimes the Bantha's meat also became a source of food for the local residents of Tuta.
These are cows and horses.
As for the dewback lizard, it is an animal that collects water.
The most important resource in the desert is water. The Dewback is a biological collector and, of course, can also be used as a mount.
This sand man was just like his fellow humans, with no skin exposed on his body, and even his goggles were brown.
Because of the desert environment and some special customs, the skin of the Sand People is always tightly covered except on their wedding night. If anyone dares to expose even an inch of skin, even if it is unintentional, the result is either beheading or exile, depending on the rules of different tribes.
So at first glance, each sandman looks like a living mummy.
According to the information Eva had gathered, the Sand People usually travel light, and most of them have nothing. The most precious things to them are the skulls of their ancestors and the Krayt Dragon Balls. It is said that anyone who is foolish enough to dare to approach the Sand People's sacred well will be killed by the Sand People.
Even the colonists of this desert planet consider the Sand People so dangerous that few exobiologists dare approach them. Existing information about this people is very little, and what information there is is often contradictory and incomplete.
It is true that some in the colonial government have questioned the existence of relevant "races", including the Sand People, but ethnic rights activists believe that such assertions are intended to justify the arbitrary killing of the Sand People and the seizure of their land.
Whatever the colonists said about the Tuskens, there was no doubt in their mind that they were a fierce nomadic people who lived a reclusive life.
They claimed to be the masters of the desert, roaming around as they pleased, and there was no doubt that they would rob the colonists.
There is no doubt that they do not engage in production and lead a life like bandits.
Otoshi Ogawa didn't expect to see aliens so soon, and began to observe them from a distance.
The Sandman was sprawled prone on the ground, his arms draped, his head tilted to one side, and most of his lower body buried in rocks and debris.
One of his legs was caught under a large rock.
Xiao Yi released a spider robot, which slowly approached the gun and then dragged it back.
The Sandman's unique companion pet did not appear.
The ammunition for this gun is not a gunpowder weapon, but an air gun, which is clumsy and heavy. The person who uses this gun must have a very strong arm and must be trained.
Even when the power is insufficient, this gun can be used as a hammer.
Xiao Yi noticed that there were strange patterns engraved on the gun handle, perhaps they were tribal marks.
The Sand People are a tribal people.
As for why it is not a gunpowder weapon, isn't it obvious!
Firstly, it is a problem of raw materials, and secondly, gunpowder weapons may really have been eliminated.
The colonists' conventional weapons are blasters, which fire energy beams.
Suddenly, the sand man, which seemed to be already cold, moved, retracted one arm, propped up his body, and raised his head wrapped in cloth.
The opaque goggles stared straight into the darkness in the other direction, where noisy sounds were coming from.
Suddenly, a "clang" sound was heard on the wind, and from the darkness of the canyon cliffs emerged a gigantic centipede-like creature with a body over 50 centimeters long and a hard shell on its back that shone in black and red.
This creature has a flat head, black bean-like eyes that are dark and shiny, revealing spirituality, and two black fangs on the lips that reveal a very ferocious look.
"Is this telepathy? Controlling living things with thoughts..."
Xiao Yi hid in the darkness and only saw the sound of "biubiu" coming from the darker night, accompanied by a brilliant light.
